About the Exhibition
Veras Images is proud to announce its first group show, to take place this summer at the Canon Open Gallery in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan. Veras Images is grateful for the generous support of Canon Marketing Japan, and is honored to be the first foreign group to have a show at the Canon Open Gallery in Shinagawa. The show will feature three prints from each of the twelve Veras photographers, and will showcase a wide range of subject matter while displaying the unified photographic vision of Veras.

About Veras Images
